Botanica Kitchen Lounge

We had a delicious dinner here, tried delicious dishes such as brussels sprouts, porc neck, salsify and the Dutch cheeses from Ed Boele (who once was my local cheese monger). Staff is friendly, but a bit chaotic and overstretched, it seems. Waits can be on the long side. Dishes are not too big, and created in such a way that you can pick each one as a starter or main. The joy here is to experimemt a bit and maybe share some. The restaurant is in the Voco hotel, even though yoi can't see that from the outside.

Brillant waiters. Thank you. The food was good quality, tasty, small portions and rather pricey. The deserts were compromised by heavy-handedness and strangeness when it comes to herbs. That needs serious adjustment. Also: Calling the restaurant Botanica with plastic plants and flowers? In all honesty 3.5/5 Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

Being vegan, I really loved the concept and the food. It was incredibly delicious, surprising and beautifully presented. Also really liked the ambience of the restaurant, it wasn't cosy as such but the open space made it very private for our table, so it was easy to have a really good conversation. The staff was friendly, but still a little inexperienced and unfortunately not very pro-active. We had to actively try and get their attention for almost every step. Prices also are really on the high side with a full meal requiring to order 2 dishes from the menu as portions are small. Once service matches the food quality and price range, it will be a great place to come back to.
